URL: https://www.librarything…er/Travellers%27+Library (English, Member-written) - The Travellers' Library is published as a joint enterprise by Jonathan Cape and William Heinemann. A series of books in all branches of literature designed for the pocket, or for the small house where shelf space is scarce. Though the volumes measure only 7 inches by 4 3/4 inches, the page is arranged so that the margins are not unreasonably curtailed nor legibility sacrificed. The books are of a uniform thickness irrespective of the number of pages, and the paper, specially manufactured for the series, is remarkably opaque, even when it is thinnest. A semi-flexible form of binding has been adopted, as a safeguard against the damage inevitably associated with hasty packing. The cloth is an attractive shade of blue and has the title and author's name stamped in gold on the back. [Description from catalogue included in the backs of the series, 1930] (English, Publisher)
